Anyone know of anything that smells similar to her floral muse? I used to use elements olive blossom and when they discontinued that I tried to fill the void with MW floral muse. Now I need to find someone else that is similar. Doesn't look like pure fragrance oils is going to carry this one.

Have you tried BCN's Olive Blossom? I don't know if it's a match, but it smells awesome and rocks in soap and wax.

I need to place an order from NG and I need some recommendations for tropical fragrances.

I'm not huge on tropical scents, but with summer right around the corner, I think I need some.

My only stipulation is that it must be strong. :-)

Thanks guys!

Alabaster used to have a Kudzu--strong grape smell--and I believe Community Candle now carries it. I remember it being knock-your-socks off strong.

Thanks guys!!

I would recommend just using FOs. Like Scented said, using EOs can get pretty expensive.

Try finding a rose and a driftwood you like and mixing them. I'm pretty sure The Candlemaker's Store has a driftwood. For a rose scent--that could slightly mimic rosewater--I recommend AH's Rose Geranium.

Beautiful!! What a lovely sunrise. :-)

Really nice work!! Keep us updated on how this scent stick please.

I sure will. So far, it's really good and strong.

Glad I'm not alone, marcuset. :-)

Wow! Wow! Wow! The colors are so pretty and vibrant! I can't wait to see it cut. :-)

Wow! Gorgeous soap and kitty!

Anything homey and cozy. I love spiced cranberry and a good, rich vanilla anytime of the year.

Since I started making candles 6 years ago, I like a lot less scents. Also, I like scents that I never liked until I started candlemaking. Weird huh?

Yep, only tarts.

I love the tiger stripes! I think the both look great!

Has anybody had luck with Birhday Cake? I remember trying it years ago and Ioved the way it smelled, but it did not do well in the tart wax I was using back then. I'm just wondering if it was the wax or the fo..... Why do vanillas have to be so frustrating?! Lol

Thank you!!

Thanks y'all!

Yes, it disappears. When I used equal amounts of soy and palm, I had some feathering, but not a pretty palm look. I decided to take the palm percentages down and the hot throw improved and the tarts look very smooth. I did not figure the tarts would pop out of the bowl with the lower palm percentages, but they do.

Thank you guys!!

What colorants do you use?

For the purple I mixed ruby gel tone(from BCN) with neon pink and blue oxide. I also used black oxide and quite a bit of titanium dioxide.

Wow! That's quite a list. I may be in trouble.:-)

Thanks guys!!

I'm having a lot of fun with these tall molds.

I'm using ecosoya pb with feather palm. I don't get feathering with the percentages I use, but they still pop out of the mold.

It's been a long hard road of testing and this is the blend I've finally settled on. It rocks hot or cold.

Thanks Belinda! I just saw Sugar Cookie Dough on the ICS website and I'm intrigued.

I need to order cellophane bags, so I think I'll place an order with ICS and try SCD and FSC.

If you think of anything else I should sample from ICS, I'd love to hear. I am getting Orange Chiffon Cake, which I've used and love. I'm also going to try ST Macintosh Apple and Banana Nut Bread( I hope it's heavier on the banana and bread and light on the nut)

Has anyone tried any of AHs Sugar Cookies? I'm also interested in their Peach Pie Filling KY.

I have the same problem with CW shipping. I can't tell you how many times I dump my CW cart when I get to shipping. It's just too steep, which makes me sad. I try to convince myself that they are still cheaper (overall) than a few other suppliers I use, but high shipping is my pet peeve. I just can't do it!!!

Yes, they have wonderful oils and prices. Why can't CW be in Oklahoma! Lol

Can anyone recommend and good, rich cookie? I love CW's SVS, but I don't like the shipping.
